If I Can

Part 12

"Doc! How is she?!"

"She's asleep. You can go see her now."

Hamin and his mom walked into the hospital room, seeing Harin there made them feel worried. It was normal for a mother to feel that way but it wasn't that way for Hamin. He never even cared if she ended up in the nurse office at school because she was beaten up.

Harin's mom took to her knees next to where she laid and held her hand. "I'm sorry my baby." She said.

The feeling of loneliness soon made Harin feel suffocated, she felt like she couldn't breathe. She tried to relax and then look for food to eat, but there was none, not even a snack.

She began to cry because she felt like her mom didn't love her. She never felt loved by her because she had never been taken care of... her mom never made her fresh food, bought her food, bought her something special, or even gave her a genuine hug or kiss.

The feeling of her breath leaving her soon came back, as she couldn't breathe from all the crying.

Harin quickly grabbed her phone in hopes of Hamin or her mom answering their phone but they never answered. She clenched her heart, feeling even worse and slowly collapsed onto the floor.

"Harin!!"

"Thank you Kiwon."

Kiwon shook his head, he didn't like thank yous...

"It's nothing Ms.Lei. I'll get going."

Kiwon put his hands in his pockets and walked away from the family.

"Mom! Rin's awake!"

His mom ran into the room, and looked at her daughter with worried eyes. She scolded her. "Why didn't you tell me you didn't eat?!"

Harin groaned, unable to be bothered by this in the state she was in. Her mom grabbed her hand softly and she harshly removed her hand from her mom's. "Honestly mom. I'm more surprised you even came. I rather have not even seen you right now."

She kept a straight face and turned around to face away from them. Her mom sobbed into Hamin's arms and she just rolled her eyes.

Hamin grabbed Harin's shirt and pulled her up harshly. Harin pushed him away, although she was still weak, but she wasn't one to get pushed around without the other one getting pushed around by her too.

Hamin chuckled deeply. "Can't you see mom is actually worried for you?! Stop being a baby and respect her!"

"What about me?! Everything is about you and mom!! Where do I come in?!"

Harin laid back down and covered her face with a pillow and she snuggled up under the covers of the hospital bed, unable to face her mom and brother.

She could feel her brother come closer as he said "..Rin...." in a soft voice. Her mom saying "I..." Not continuing because she had no idea how to start or what to say.

Harin said through tears. "Please, just leave.... I'll be fine."

"Harin, I heard what happened at the hospital. Wanna talk about it?" Damien said. The group sat at the bleachers together.

"What happened at the hospital?" Kian questioned and Ethan said "When we came to visit, we heard her conversation with Hamin and her mom." Kian nodded, understanding.

"My mom had the audacity to cry because of what I told her when she doesn't even know what she does to me." Harin rolled her eyes.

"Or she did care." Jaesim said and Harin smiled bitterly. "Maybe she does, but obviously not as much as she loves stupid Hamin."

The group stayed silent knowing they wouldn't be able to change Harin's opinion. Harin brushed a hand through her hair and stood up.

"I'm going to class. Coming Kian?"
